I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into with this book, but it's such a fast read without feeling like it was rushed.

This is a bleak story about possession.  This woman slowly realizes she's being taken over by a demon and... that's really what the whole thing is about.  There are definitely some distressing themes and scenes in this so if you're sensitive to some issues be sure to check out a trigger warning list for the novel.

I'll also say that the ending was
more bleak than I usually like my endings, but this felt like a proper puzzle piece fit and Naamah was just so powerful that I don't know how else it could have ended.

I loved this. Nearly a perfect book for me. Creepy and tense. It would have been five stars in not for the unnecessary f-slur in the first chapter. Also if it had been more gay tbh.
